Legitimate ambition Is the safeguard Of
society. 1t stimulates the despondent and
checks the evil desires of the strong.
Whenever man loses the desire OF doing
the best work in the calling he has chosen,
he becomes a burden 20 his family and
society, and his loss would not be felt by
the community. He is like a ship without

THE K. OF Il. AND THE POPE.
Cardinal Gibbons's Favorable Report Causes
Great Rejoicing Among the Knights.

New YORK, March 2.-Cardinal Gbbons's
favorable report to Pope Leo as to the standing
of the Knights of Labor, set forth in cable dis
patches from Rome. was received with much
rejoicing by the Knights in this city 1t had
been thought by many OF the leading Knights
that the McGlynn controversy aud the attacks
made by Henry George on the church would
have preiudced the authorities at Rome against
the order. and this fear was aggravated by the
fact that Cardinal Taschereau. who sailed in
company with the American cardinal,
had announced his intention of en-
deavoring to influence Rome through
it in his fight with the Canadian Knights The
position taken by Cardinal Gibbons they say
will settle the whole matter, as he is a special
favorite with the Pope, and his advice as to the
treatment OF any matter in which the United
States is concerned will it is declared be taken
AS it is given. In addition, Bishop Keane. of
Richmond, and Bishop Ireland. OF ST. Paul. who
are both friendly to the Knights. and who are
recognized at Rome as representing the more
progressive element in the American hierarchy,
are with Cardinal Gibbons to support him in the
position which he takes Cardinal Gibbons is
in position to speak more inteli-
gently of the principles Of the
Knights than any other churchman. Before
leaving for Rome he carefully examined the
manual of the order. He also held long con-
ference with Master Workman Powderly, whom
he regarded devout and conservative Cath
olic His present position is the result of this
investigation. 1t is said in clerical circles that
the Knights had powerful enemies within the
Vatican Many of the cardinals thought the
order ts- be of n character similar to the secret
societies of Italy and Spain, and opposed it for
that reason. This report of Cardinal Gibbons
has no bearing whatever on the McGlynn case;
nor will its Endorsement by the Pope carry with
it anything more than an approval of the gen.
| eral plan of the order. In any diocese where a
branch of the order may develop dangerous ten
denotes, the local bishop will still have the power
| to deal with it.

THE LOSS OF THE GARDNER.
How the Fire Was Started and How It Spread
Heroic Deeds of Colored Cabin Boy.

MOBILE, Ala March News of the burning
of the steamer Gardner is coming in slowly.
The fire was discovered by Captain Stone. A
negro deck hand threw water on the burning
bale, and in throwing another bucketfu his
clothes caught fire. Panic-stricken, he ran from
place to place. setting fire to cotton bales, and in
a few moments the boat was in flames all over
She was in midstream, and in motion. The
pilots were driven from the wheel, and the crew
and passengers jumped overheard. Those lost
were drowned. It is not thought that more
than or two were burned. Captain Stone
saved himself by swimming ashore. The steam
er Tally was behind the Gardner, waiting to
pass. AS soon as the flames broke out the Tally
lowered her boats and threw over bales, seed
sacks and planks to help the people who were
jumping from the Gardner. The heat was so
intense that the Tally did not dare 60 near,
but ner boats picked up a num-
ber Of people. Had it not been for the
presence of the Tally but few would have been
saved When the fire broke out the Gardner
was ordered to run ashore. She was backed and
| bells were rung for going ahead, but the engi-
neers were driven from their posts by the flames
and the boat drfted into the woods on the oppo-
/ site side from the place where there was prac-
| ticable landing. Pilot w. FL. Wilson remained
in the pilot house until he found that his signals
| were not obeyed and that the flames were lick
| ing the side of the pilot house. when he fled for
| his life He is much praised for his heroism.
| The report Of the Toss of life is confirmed.
! The cabin-boy of the Tally manned Barber, col
| ored performed heroic deeds in saving five
| lives, which he did by swimming ashore with
those in the water. The screams of those on
the boat were heartrendne Mrs. w. T. Rem
bert threw one child into the water. her husband
